Making an index or glossary

The Hyperlatex converter understands the commands \index and \cindex, which are synonymous. It collects the entries specified with these commands, and you can include a sorted index using \htmlprintindex. This index takes the form of a menu with hyperlinks to the positions where the original \index commands where located. You can specify a different sort key for an index intry using the optional argument of \cindex:
   \cindex[index]{\verb+\index+}
This entry will be sorted like "index", but typeset in the index as "\verb+\index+".

The hyperlatex.sty style defines \cindex as follows:

  • \cindex{entry} is expanded to \index{entry}, and
  • \cindex[sortkey]{entry} ist expanded to \index{sortkey@entry}.
  • This realizes the same behavior as in the Hyperlatex converter if you use the index processor makeindex. If not, you will have to consult your Local Guide and redefine \cindex appropriately.

    The index in this manual was created using \cindex commands in the source file, the index processor makeindex and the following code:

       \W \section*{Index}
       \W \htmlprintindex
       \T \input{hyperlatex.ind}
